This post was updated on June 6. We added the list of winners.
On June 1st AdGuard celebrates quite an anniversary! 10 years we have been protecting people from ads and tracking. And we are not going to stop.
Andrey Meshkov, AdGuard's CTO and co-founder:
Over these years everything's changed a lot. From a very small team of 3, working in the apartment of one of the founders, we've grown to the company of 50+ people. Fortunately, we managed to keep our family atmosphere and start-up spirit. And we like to think that our users also feel this friendly aura that surrounds AdGuard.
For the past ten years AdGuard has become a prominent product that is used by millions of people around the world and that has an impact on the industry. It's amazing (and even a little funny) when we think about it now. We definitely didn't see it coming back in 2009.
But it’s always better to look into the future. We believe that content blocking will stay around for a long time, and that its current state is far from ideal. We have a vision of how things should be, and we will work hard to reach that.
And finally. To all of our users: Thank you! Without you these 10 years would have not been possible. We really appreciate your support. And also many thanks to all contributors. AdGuard is still a rather small company, and any contribution is a real deal for us. Thank you!
Once again, thank you for all the love and support from the rest of AdGuard team! Join our birthday party — we prepared nice presents for everyone: a 50% sale! a real AdGuard game! and a giveaway with lots of prizes!
Let's celebrate together!
And the first present is for everyone who wanted an AdGuard key but couldn't get it for some reason. Now is the perfect time, as we are having a huge discount of 50% on EVERYTHING! That's right, on license upgrades and renewals as well. So even if you already have a license key, you can add more devices to it or extend it for another year.
All these years we've been protecting your devices from ads. Now it's your turn!
Become the best AdGuardian! Crush all the ads!
And get a chance to win the coolest prizes.
Yeah, we've made a real GAME
The rules are really simple:
Although AdGuard users have a slight advantage as our gratitude for their lasting support, ANYONE can join the game and fight for the prizes.

We hope you will like this new format of the giveaway, where your chances for the win depend on you. We really tried to make it interesting :)
Remember, the higher your score, the less are the chances that someone kicks you out of the top. And if you have any questions, just leave us a comment. Good luck to you all!
